About this award

You can receive $750.00 for this award. As a prize, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. Note that the funding will be split equally among all members of your team. This is for you if you are a student competing in the Varshney Cup Competition and you aim for a top-five finish. The deadline to apply is February 12, 2027. Since you are automatically considered based on your General Application, ask NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) how and when you will be notified if your team wins. Winners are chosen based on a fourth-place finish. Judges use a specific rubric to score the competition, and NAIT will provide this rubric to you so you know how you are being graded. Ask NAIT during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, while others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with NAIT whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• RubricAvoid guessing what the judges want. Instead, study the rubric provided by NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) to ensure your project hits every required mark. Review the scoring criteria with your team before you finalize your submission.
• SupportAvoid working in isolation. Instead, coordinate closely with your team members to divide tasks based on each person's strengths. Set a internal deadline for your draft that is well before February 12.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Instead, fill out every section of the NAIT awards portal thoroughly. Since this is an automatic consideration award, your profile is your only way to be seen.
